Job Description: This role centers on engineering and operating third-party applications end to end within an on-premises OpenShift platform. The position supports GenAI operations, including guardrails and observability for LLM and RAG-based applications across the enterprise. The engineer will deploy and support vendor platforms such as Galileo and LangSmith, monitor AI application quality and safety, maintain model evaluation workflows, and provide operational support in a fast-paced environment. The domain is GenAI operations: the applications you run provide guardrails and observability for LLM- and RAG-powered systems across the enterprise. You will work with these vendor tools to monitor application quality, safety, and performance—tracking metrics such as attribution, grounding, prompt-injection detection, tone, bias, and PII handling—and surface them through dashboards and alerting. Where the platform uses model-based evaluation (LLMs-as-Judges and specialized/small language models), you will help operationalize, calibrate, and maintain those workflows. Because the AI landscape changes quickly, the ideal engineer learns new tools and environments fast, brings a pragmatic build-and-operate mindset, and can lead cross-functional work to move initiatives forward. Responsibilities: • Develop, deploy, and operate vendor applications in an on-premises OpenShift environment. • Build and maintain APIs and integrations connecting vendor guardrail and observability platforms to enterprise GenAI applications. • Monitor application performance, safety, latency, throughput, and guardrail metrics. • Implement and maintain model-based evaluation workflows, including annotation and calibration processes. • Utilize orchestration frameworks such as LangChain for guardrail checks, prompt management, and scoring workflows. • Build observability dashboards and alerting solutions. • Troubleshoot production issues and optimize performance, scalability, and resilience. • Contribute to emerging AI evaluation and guardrail strategies for agentic workflows. • Lead and mentor engineers while driving cross-functional initiatives and engineering best practices. Required Qualifications: • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, MIS, or related field • 10+ years of software engineering experience building and scaling production applications. • Strong Python development experience, including common ML and data libraries. • Hands-on experience with OpenShift or Kubernetes in production environments. • Experience deploying and supporting LLM or RAG-based applications. • Understanding of AI risks, agent behavior, and governance frameworks. • Experience integrating third-party platforms and supporting vendor applications. • Experience with OpenAI APIs, LangChain, and GenAI development frameworks. • Knowledge of inference performance optimization and scalability. • Experience implementing AI guardrails, observability, and model evaluation processes. • Experience working in Agile environments. • Proven ability to lead technical initiatives and influence stakeholders. • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. Desired Qualifications: • Experience delivering technology solutions within large, regulated enterprise environments, preferably financial services. • Experience with annotation pipelines, feedback loops, fine-tuning, and alignment techniques. • Familiarity with prompt lifecycle management and versioning. • Experience with Galileo, LangSmith, Splunk, or similar observability platforms. • Familiarity with LlamaIndex, Haystack, or other GenAI frameworks. • Experience with evaluation and guardrails for agentic AI workflows. • Self-directed, collaborative working style across engineering teams. Skills: • Application Development • Automation • Influence • Solution Design • Technical Strategy Development • Architecture • Business Acumen • DevOps Practices • Result Orientation • Solution Delivery Process • Analytical Thinking • Collaboration • Data Management • Risk Management • Test Engineering Shift: 1st shift (United States of America) Hours Per Week: 40 Pay Transparency details US - IL - Chicago - 540 W Madison St - Bank Of America Plaza (IL4540), US - NJ - Jersey City - 101 Hudson St - 101 Hudson (NJ2101), US - NJ - Pennington - 1600 American Blvd - Hopewell Bldg 6 (NJ2600), US - VA - Richmond - 8011 VILLA PARK DR - VILLA PARK OPS CENTER BLDG B (VA2125) Pay and benefits information Pay range $102,900.00 - $179,900.00 annualized salary, offers to be determined based on experience, education and skill set.
